Description
The Rio 9 is a linear ceiling light with three dome shades set in a row beneath a long, flat bar. Its iron structure is finished in matt black, a soft black with no shine that sits happily in modern and Scandinavian rooms. The whole fitting is 38cm wide and only 10cm tall. Each dome shade is 9cm across and 8cm tall, and the raised canopy that fixes to the ceiling is 30cm wide. It takes a GX53 lamp cap.
It fixes flush to the ceiling with no stem, and at only 10cm tall it is a sensible choice for rooms with lower ceilings, where a pendant would hang too close to head height. The linear shape follows a room's long lines, so it works well along a hallway or landing, over a dining table, or above a desk in a home office, and it is just as much at home in a bedroom or living room. It is rated IP20, so it is for dry rooms only. It is an on-off fitting worked from an ordinary light switch, so it needs no dimmer.
The structure is iron, and the matt black finish keeps the clean lines of the bar and the three domes calm and graphic against a pale ceiling. It runs on a 220-240V mains supply, so it is for a qualified electrician to install, and it carries a 3 year guarantee. For styling, line it up with the length of a dining table or the run of a narrow hallway so the domes follow the room, and pair the black with pale wood, linen and white walls for an easy Scandinavian look, or set it against a darker painted ceiling for a quieter, tonal finish.
